Within the borders of Yorkshire, a historic district situated in northern England, you'll find vast stretches of unspoiled countryside, such as the North York Moors. This part of England also is home to a number of golf courses listed in the top 100 courses of the United Kingdom, including Ganton Golf Club, which is ranked No. 7. Ganton has played host to a number of critical tournaments, such as the Ryder Cup, the Curtis Cup and the Walker Cup. The abundance of stately golfing opportunities makes Yorkshire a prime place for a golf vacation. Any vacation to Yorkshire--golf or otherwise--should include close family, friends and possibly your dog. If you're interested in bringing along your four-legged friend, there are several lodging choices in the area that accommodate dogs.
